Just north of here about an hour or so is the village of Lowville, Lewis County, the home of the world's largest cream cheese factory.

To celebrate this fact, Lowville each year conducts a Cream Cheese Festival. This year, the event is set for 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 20 in the village.

There are all sorts of fun activities during the festival, including a cheesecake eating contest, a cow milking contest and cream cheese Bingo. The locals also serve portions of the world's largest cheesecake.
